Catholic Health hosts 'Career Carnival' at downtown headquarters

On-the-spot hiring event features open interviews and activities for the entire family

Come one, come all to Catholic Health’s first-ever “Career Carnival” on Saturday, Oct. 15, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at its administrative and regional training center, located at 144 Genesee St., Buffalo.

A press release said, “For anyone looking to begin or grow their career in health care, Catholic Health managers and recruiters will be on hand to accept applications, conduct private interviews, and make on-the-spot job offers to expedite the hiring process.”

During the “Career Carnival,” open interviews will be held for clinical and non-clinical positions in a variety of areas, including nursing (RNs, LPNs, CNAs), imaging, respiratory therapy, lab, accounting, patient registration, health information management, talent acquisition, clinical education, IT, and billing.

As a bonus for this event, the first 15 individuals hired as night shift critical care RNs at Mercy Hospital will earn a $30,000 retention bonus. Other positions may qualify for up to a $25,000 retention bonus. Referral bonuses of up to $5,000 are also available to anyone who successfully recommends a candidate who is hired for a bonus-eligible position throughout Catholic Health.

Referral bonus varies by position and is prorated for part-time employment.

The press release said, “While you interview, there will be free activities and refreshments for your family, including face painting, pumpkin decorating, a prize wheel, cider and doughnuts, inflatable Skee-Ball, ring toss, and giant games. A food truck will also be available to purchase other food items.”

All applicants must complete a pre-employment physical and meet all job prerequisites as a final condition of employment. To set up an interview for this hiring event, visit chsbuffalo.org/carnival.
